The Road to Hyderabad is a series done by Ashoka’s Tech4Society team as we count down the weeks to our big gather of 100 Ashoka-Lemelson Fellows in Hyderabad, India to explore the future of tech for social change. You can read all of the Road to Hyderabad series here.
Lesson #16:Going Green
I’m taking it a bit easier this week, hanging out in Wisconsin with my folks for a few days before the home stretch on our way to Hyderabad for the Tech4Society event.
So the topic and content for today’s post comes to us from my partner in crime, volunteer extraordinaire, Adrian Ash.
Adrian is a volunteer member of our Tech4Society and her expertise lies in the field of sustainability. As such, she prepared a really fantastic presentation for us last week of her recommendations for how Ashoka can make our event in Hyderabad greener and more earth-friendly. I thought her presentation was so well-done that I wanted to share it with you here.
I think when you are planning a giant event with lots of people flying half-way across the world “going green” is of course a complicated and sometimes futile effort. What I like about Adrian’s recommendations though is her foucs on what we can do and also on what guests themselves can do to make the event greener.
Thanks Adrian for this fabulous presentation and also for the stellar work you have been doing with us so far!
